The announcement said he, “wrote the UCB Word for Today – with the support of a great team – in a way that appealed to those who didn’t know God (so that it acted as an ‘appetizer’) and also helped more mature believers to go deeper in their faith (so that it acted as a ‘vitamin,’ especially in challenging times).” In the early days, Bob was an itinerant preacher and also had a TV show in the US, but he did not think of himself as a writer. However, on his wedding day in 1991, he and Debby were given a prophecy and were told that Bob’s writing would reach more people than his preaching ever would. Sometime later, The Word for Today became a written reality and from a small print run of 3,500 copies initially in the UK, it now has a global reach through print and digital platforms of over 7.6 million per quarter at the end of 2018. In Australia, we send it and the partner youth edition (in print copy alone) to over 150,000 people every quarter. Over many years, the devotional has impacted millions of lives and although today is a sad day of loss, we are also thankful for the incredible legacy Bob has left behind. Other versions used are: Amplified Bible, Bible in Basic English, Contemporary English Version, English Standard Version, Good News Translation, God’s Word Translation, New American Standard Version, New Century Version, New International Version, New Living Translation, New Revised Standard Version, J.B. Phillips translation, The Living Bible, Today’s English Version. When will I receive the devotional?

People think that if they get just one more thing or make some more money, they will be happy. But that is not the answer. We have the answer and His name is Jesus Christ.” Gass ran Bob Gass Ministries from his home in Georgia, with an international purpose and scope. His organisation retains the right to distribute the devotional within the United States.

Furthermore, divine love doesn’t just give you ‘warm fuzzies’. It’s constantly at work to direct you towards making wise decisions, to protect you from making poor ones, and to correct you when you make bad ones. God’s love guarantees His acceptance when all others have rejected you, His forgiveness when all others have judged you, and His mercy when all others have condemned you. And people say to me I wish God would talk to me. I look at them and saying, well, exact ly what would you like him to say? Because if He talks to you, he may not be telling you what you want to hear. So I’ve got into this kind of argument with the Lord. You might say ‘how did you know it was The Lord?’… Because I would never have told myself to do that. And the devil is called a thief, so I know he would never have told me to do it.
